Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Gove, about polling. I am sure noble Lords will be very grateful that I have crossed out pages on polling that I was going to quote. It shows that there is a lack of understanding of what assisted suicide actually means. A lot of people do not understand that you can refuse disease-modifying treatment but still receive palliative care. In terms of education, there is so much more we need to do to educate people about the services they can currently access.
